The Wheeling team is composed of gen.

people should turn out and give them a
hearty reception. The GAINESVILLE team
was treated in a handsome manner on the
occasion of its visit to Wheeling, and our
citizens should reciprocate -ZdHesrille Sig

The GAINESVILLE papers complain of their
team having been stoned at Columbus.
This is very dirty work and it should be
at once stamped out in the interest of the
National game. Whatever the cause of
dispute may be between the two cities, the
rights of the players should be respected
and any attempt at mObbing, whether on
or of the ground, should be followed by the
immediate arrest Of the culprits. Columbus
should see to it that this does not happen
again.

The Board of Public Works Holds Meet

The Board of Public Works held meet
ing of considerable importance last even
ing, all the members being present. After
ordering the payment Of certain bills, the
Board took up the old specifications ana
bids left over from the former Board, and
went over the former very thoroughly. 1t
was found that the old specifications were
lame in two or three particulars, as, for
instance, in the matter Of excavating. At
ter giving the matter due consideration, 1t
was decided to re-advertise for bids for
doing the paving ordered by Council, pro-
pOsals to be received until Monday, the
18th inst. There is very strong prob
ability that the new bids will be higher
than the old, the increased cost being
brought about by the action OF Council
making nine hours days work.

NesterdaY'n Weather.

Yesterday was scorcher from away
back, AMI it fairly burned people, hut
while the weather seemed TO he hotter
than on Wednesday the record made by
the thermometer indicated several degrees
lower. While the thermometer may
be correct there is no doubt
that people suffered more from
the heat yesterday than they have any day
this week, and ice water, ice cream and
beer all failed to keep our, citizens cool. II
q gust of fresh air came wandering along,
it was grabbed up and consumed so
quickly by suffering humanity that it
didn't have chance to blow
through your whiskers, which was
quite disappointment to the wind, as well
as to the whiskers. But to return to the
heat, il was IS hot as--as-well, some
place, and the wonder is great that no one
has been affected by the intense heat OF the
sun, and it is fortunate rs well. The rec
ord for yesterday, as observed 1t Schnepfs
drug store, was as follows: 7 a. H., 79; 8
a. m. Sc; II m. 96; 3 p. m. &c. Z p. m. %.

NJ. MOhl's Story.

Now will show you how they did
things in those days. | will tell you
about the man who was assassinated
While l was on duty at night in the
corps de gGrde, man came rushing in
to say there was terrible thing-they
were assassinating a man in the Rue
Cherchemidi. Well, instead of going
out as fast as we could to help this
man who was assassinatlng or assassi-
mated, the officer says to me: Go i'm
mediately and tell the commissaire de
police-he lives in the Rue Grenelle-
under red lamp. Well, away | 60
and fisd my Rue Grenelle and red
lamp, and l make great noise at the
door for long time; at last head
with nightcap comes out of the win
dow and asks me what in the world l
want. The commissaire de police
say l. We'll, l am the commissaire
de police; what do you wantP' There
is man being assassinated in the Rue
Cherchemidi.' Which side of the gut
terp' says he. Well, l did not know
anything about one side of the gutter
or the other side, so say at once bold
ly, the right side as you come down
the street. 'Ah,' he says, that is in
the other reimbursement; go to the
other commissaire, No. - Rue
So away 60, with my man being as
sassinated all the time, and find my
other commissaire. Which side of
the gutter said he. So L thought at
any rate l would stick to my story,
and l say, the right side coming down
the street. 'Ah,' dit-il 'cela me re-
garde. But how long is it since they
have been assassinating him?' About
three quarters of an hour, say /. All,
then he is dead by this time; we must
get two men and a stretcher to carry
him away So away we 60 with our
stretcher, and l went with them, for
wanted to see whether the man was on
the right side of the gutter or not-and
we found him lying stone dead, with
his head in the gutter. But he was
more on the right side than on the left.
and he was stabbed through the heart,
SO the three-quarters of an hour did
not signify. But that is the way thew
do things here. ."-The Spectator.

Coming into Church.

Did you ever see them coming into church
little late,
And attempt to read their temper by the
nature of their gait?
'Tfs very pleasing study, and you'n ind it
worth your while
To observe these people walking up the car
pet-covered aisle.
First there comes, perhaps, an aged, bent
and sober-featured man.
Whose uncertain shutting indicates as plainly
That he's weary, weary, weary, and is haunted
That the next time he'll be carried, carried
up the church aisle dead
Next behind him comes lady cheeks little
sunken now,
Streaks of white in her hair and ages tell-tale
wrinkles on her brow;
But her walk is slow and stately and it plainly
seems to say,
20, we tolled and saved when younger: we're
enjoying it to-day"
Then there is the married daughter, and her
Her uneasiness beneath the craning, concen.
trating gaze.
While her far-out-swinging dress skirts are
To come to church SO tardy but she Is not to
blame.
She has children and they follow, oainsins one
to either hand.
And they stumble, looking choirward, asking,
Ma, is that the bandp'
But she holds them up and, STOPPING, softly
tells them TO be still
Thinking, 'Ill not be so late again-contwisted
if l will!
Then there comes the younger sister tripping
lightly down the aisle,
Resting on her Droudly-tossing head hat Of
latest style;
And the meaning of her manner is. 81 wish
